Close to the Edge listening experience
Hey guys, I wanted to share an experience with you. On Sunday, I bought a used copy of the 1972 album *Close to the Edge*. I knew the album, but I’d never really given it a proper listen. When I got home, after listening to Side A, I cried. I never would have imagined that a prog suite could stir up these kinds of emotions in me. Every part of it is perfect: the intro, the instrumental sections, the verses, the chorus, the interlude, and especially the finale. It’s definitely among my top three favorite songs right now. Then Side B started, and that’s incredible too. It’s become one of my favorite albums.
